RARE EASY ACCESS PRIVATE FLOATING DOCK 4 BED ROOM HOME!
Rare, direct lake front home with great Lake views and easy access to dock, on beautiful Lake Lanier. The house is located in a large, deep water cove near the popular lake lanier islands resort and water park.
The bottom floor, accessed from the car port, has two queen bedrooms, a full bathroom with stand up shower, living area and small dining area.
Up the stairs to the main floor you’ll find the master bedroom with king bed, fourth bedroom with a twin over full bunk bed and a second full bath with large walk in shower.
The open room concept features a kitchen with everything you need to cook, dining area and a large, comfortable L shaped couch with big screen TV and plenty of throw blankets.
Two large patio doors off of the living room give you great lake views and lead out to one of the biggest highlights of the home - the massive open air deck! This covered deck features outdoor dining for 6, two outdoor couches with ottoman, a Weber grill and unobstructed open air views of the lake and surrounding woods. Stairs off of this second floor sanctuary lead you down to the pathway to the lake. Enjoy the deer that graze the property early mornings or catch the sunset thru the trees in the evening. This second floor, large outdoor space is a rarity on the lake.
The lake is a quick, level walk to the two story brand new luxury party dock, with a short flight of stairs just as you reach the dock.
Though it’s only a one minute walk to the dock, a golf cart in the garage is available for your use to lug belongings to and from the water for a great Lake day!
The second story of the dock features lounge beds for sunbathing or relaxing. The lower, covered area features an additional dining area for an alfresco meal by the water, stairs leading in and out of the water for easy access after a swim, and plenty of space to cast your line in for fishing.
On site LUXURY SPEED BOAT AND JET SKIS are available to rent for an additional fee if you would like (only available for those that are also renting the property)! Just message me for details. My rates are comparable or better than any outfit you’ll find on the lake.
Local grocery stores and restaurants / bars are within a ten minute drive. And the property is located in the heart of one of the best parts of the lake!
I’m confident our home will offer you an unforgettable experience as you enjoy your holiday on Lake Lanier.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Our family had the best weekend at this house! Everything was fresh and clean, the view of the lake through the trees is magical, and the dock and location on Lake Lanier are ideal. We have rented many properties through VRBO and Colby is one the best hosts we have had. He responded immediately to our questions and was extremely generous. I highly recommend this property and hope to visit again!

I absolutely loved everything about this home! It’s beautiful, just a short walk to the dock with an amazing view of the lake. My favorite spot was the patio, where we enjoyed breakfast each morning while taking in the peaceful surroundings. The location is also perfect, with plenty of places to visit nearby. The owner was wonderful to work with—very responsive and thoughtful—providing so many extras that made our stay feel special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lake house! The home was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located right on the water. The house had everything we needed. We chose the option to rent the boat and the kids enjoyed tubing. Colby had great communication from start to finish, which made everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay! Really clean, spacious and the dock was great to swim off! Colby kept in great contact. This place has everything you need for a Great Lake stay. We didn’t take the option to rent the Jet Ski’s and boat but will definitely be back!
